What Do You Do When You Get A New Garmin GPS?
Since getting my new Garmin Nuvi 3597 recently, I have been brain storming to make sure that I do everything I need to do to get it up to date. So far, here is a laundry list of things I have done, or will do, after getting a new Garmin:
-Update to current firmware
-Update to latest maps
-Delete non English voices
-Delete non English keyboards

Oldsmar Red Light Cameras
I just downloaded the latest redlight camera file and noticed that the 4 Oldsmar fl cameras are missing or maybe I'm not seeing them?
They were there a couple weeks ago.

Garmin Nuvi 3597 Settings
I would like to configure my Garmin Nuvi 3597 so that it does not auto zoom. I just want it to stay at whatever setting I select. Does anybody know if this is possible?
I know that on some Garmins it was an option if I selected the UK or some other non-United States country. Could this still be possible?

Otterbox Type Case For Garmin Nuvi 3597
I am looking for a protective case for my Garmin Nuvi 3597. I know that there are lots of cases available, but I am specifically looking for the type that is similar to a cell phone protective case that would allow it to be used when navigating on foot, I seem to recall seeing one somehwere recently, but I can't for the life of me seem to find it on line right now.

Any security features available for the 65LM?
I have a 1450 and really like the security PIN feature. I don't see anything like it on a new 65LM. Did I miss it or is Garmin not putting that feature on anymore? If the latter is the case are there any add-ons that would add some sort of security?
Thanks

Format by accident . . No backup - 3790LMT
Hello
As you can see from the subject, I pulled a bone head move.
I was formatting my camera sd card (or so I thought) and it wiped the Garmin 3790LMT instead.
Before I removed it from the computer I read in one of these forum posts that I should try and use "Express" to see if it can correct things... Well, it did. To a point.

Sound files exist but won't play
After carefully editing my GPX files just the way I want them to play particular proximity sound alerts, I went on a trip and my Nuvi 755 would only play its default built-in double beep for each and every one.

3D Buildings File
I apologize if this is covered on here somewhere but I couldn't find it. I know that some of the Garmin models come with the 3D Buildings mode, but I was wondering if there is a file you can add to your Garmin if you don't have it? I have the 2597LMT which doesn't come with that. I noticed that the 3597 does. If there a way it can still be added or purchased if need be?

Garmin helps me out
My Nuvi kept popping off of the gooseneck and I tried to salvage it by adding tissue under the ball where it goes into the adapter, So finally i called Garmin and was going to buy me that adapter that clips onto the back of the nuvi.
Legacy Garmin Connected Features
I was thinking today about the various connected features we have today and what we had in the past. So, since Garmin XT was something I used on a phone several years ago, I decided to take a look at http://www8.garmin.com/buzz/mobilext/ We had Garmin OnLine, fuel prices, flight status, weather, traffic, etc.
